Zlatan Ibrahimovic won the award the previous week after his mesmerizing debut, but Melia made the Swedish legend’s second MLS game less memorable with a career-best 10 saves, including three on Ibrahimovic in the second half, to spark a 2-0 road victory Sunday at the StubHub Center.

The Alcatel MLS Player of the Week is chosen each week of the regular season by members of the North American Soccer Reporters. The organization includes print, television, radio and online journalists who cover domestic men's soccer in the United States and Canada.
